# SEO Implementation Checklist

Before changing code, confirm the current project has or needs:

- Metadata generation by page type.
- Canonical tags and noindex controls.
- XML sitemap generation.
- robots.txt policy.
- Open Graph and social metadata.
- Structured data by page type.
- Breadcrumb markup and UI breadcrumbs.
- Internal linking modules.
- Category intro content or SEO content blocks.
- Product content sections such as FAQs, specs, care, compatibility, or shipping info.
- Search result and filter route indexation rules.
- Pagination or infinite-scroll SEO handling.
- Image component support for alt text, size hints, and optimized delivery.
- Performance-sensitive rendering for money pages.

If any item is missing, decide whether to implement it now, defer it, or document it as blocked by architecture.
